The Managing Editor of the Herald Newspaper, Larry Alan Dogbe has denied that the Okyenhene is demanding GHC 5 million as damages from the newspaper for allegedly publishing falsehood about him.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026<\/span>There is nowhere in this document is Okyenhene demanding GHC 5 million from the publishers of the Herald,\u201d he said on Eyewitness News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia<\/span> Ofori Panin, has filed a suit at<\/span> the Fast Track High Court against the publishers of The Herald newspaper and three others for accusing him of engaging in illegal mining.<\/p>\n

They are; Prime Mark Company Limited, publishers of The Herald newspaper, Nana Kwame Adjei-Boateng, a member of the Asona Royal family, Larry Alan Dogbe, the Managing Editor of The Herald and Kofi Nyame, a reporter with the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dogbe<\/span> in response acknowledged that he, together with his colleagues have been served by one Kwame Acheampong Boateng and not by Godfred Dame who he described as a publicity-loving and attention-seeking lawyer.<\/p>\n

He indicated that he will act according to the advice of his lawyer, David Annan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I am in the hands of a very competent lawyer in the person of David Annan and when the issues go to court, whatever legal arguments that will be advanced, I believe in the competence of David Annan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
